For most of us, we should know what BitTorrent is, so I won’t go explicitly into explaining what is torrent and BitTorrent. Searching for files over the Internet can be really difficult, and more than often, files that you want may be available from one network but not the other. So, Torrent Radar is a software specifically design to help users search the web to find torrents file to download.

The interface has a search engine look, and hence users should be relatively comfortable using the application. Simply type in the keywords you wish to find and then search for the .torrent file over the Internet.

There are several VoIP softwares today, i.e. Skype, MSN, and Google Talk,… Now, there is this new Zfone Project that develops Zfone, a new secure VoIP phone software product that allows users to make secure and encrypted Internet calls.

Using a highly encrypted protocol, that is AES-128 bit encryption, you can rest assure that your message or packets transferred over the Internet will be safe. Zfone software currently runs in the Internet Protocol stack on any Windows XP, Mac OS X, or Linux PC, and intercepts and filters all the VoIP packets as they go in and out of the machine, and secures the call on the fly. Furthermore, it has its own little separate GUI, telling the user if the call is secure.

Most of you would have heard of what FLV Player is about. Basically, it is a audio-video player to play flash-converted media that has been saved as .flv file.

Originally, Flash files exist as .swf format, and it is usually inefficient to play swf media with the way you would want to watch a movie from .avi or .mpg format.

With Any FLV Player 1.0.1, users can easily play FLV videos as it doesn’t require the complicated Flash authoring tool and Flash development tools.

This application also has the capability to help users post video files to websites or blogs, with a couple of clicks, thus making publishing easy. Adding FLV meta tag to FLV video files is also a breeze. Well, below are some key features:

Key Features

Even before the official release of Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn, there have been huge demand for Automatix package to be bundled in the repository. Unfortunately, during that time, Automatix only supports up to Ubuntu 6.10; support for version 7.xx has not been released. Finally, the wait is over, Automatix2, is now available for Ubuntu 7.04 users!

Other than supporting version 7.04, this latest release also comes with Crossover Office Standard and Professional on Ubuntu 7.04 amd64 (which basically means you can run a ton of 32 bit windows software on Ubuntu 7.04 amd64). I just happen to found out from the website that the CEO and Founder of Dell Inc. also uses Automatix2 on his home computer (no wonder Dell is switching to bundle their systems with Linux operating systems these days *joking*)
